Projecting the most likely player or coach on each NHL team to be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame one day. 

The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in Toronto. It is the shrine of hockey, a place where the greatest hockey players and coaches (not just NHL) are enshrined and honored. Being elected into the Hall of Fame is an incredible honor. While many of the teams are already included in the Hall of Fame, there are several teams that haven’t had one yet.

What does the Hockey Hall of Fame look for in a player and a coach?

From HHOF.com:

"Player: Playing ability, sportsmanship, character and contributions to his or her team or teams and to the game of hockey in general. Coaches (under Builders): Coaching, managerial or executive ability, or ability in another significant off-ice role, sportsmanship, character and contributions to his or her organization or organizations and to the game of hockey in general."

Each team might not have a current player or coach who makes the Hockey Hall of Fame. It’s quite likely that at least half of the people listed on this list won’t make the Hall of Fame because of their rather strict guidelines for judging players. But here’s a list of each team’s most likely future hall of famer, whether that be a player or a coach. 28 NHL teams have a player listed on this list while two teams have a coach.
